Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
So much that I've done wrong it's an open book
I've done much more than my fair share of damage
What once was hidden now is crystal clear.
Transformation is within me
To break the cycle I must turn to you
What I lack I gain through your virtue I gain through you
Even when I fall, will you still believe.
Even when I'm lost, will you still believe
Shattered by the hate that I carry
Take me as I am and make me whole again
I am lost without a purpose always consumed by self
I freely give this calloused heart can you forgive me
Even when I fall will you still believe
Even when I'm lost will you still believe
Now I don't have much, will you save me
But I'll give it all, will you save me
(will you save me)
(will you save me)
I've made so many mistakes
I've broken so many promises
I've searched inside and I'm empty
Will you save me
Will you save me
Even when I fall will you still believe
Even when I'm lost will you still believe
Every time I fall will you save me (save me)
Even when I fall will you save me
I've done much more than my fair share of damage
What once was hidden now is crystal clear.
Transformation is within me
To break the cycle I must turn to you
What I lack I gain through your virtue I gain through you
Even when I fall, will you still believe.
Even when I'm lost, will you still believe
Shattered by the hate that I carry
Take me as I am and make me whole again
I am lost without a purpose always consumed by self
I freely give this calloused heart can you forgive me
Even when I fall will you still believe
Even when I'm lost will you still believe
Now I don't have much, will you save me
But I'll give it all, will you save me
(will you save me)
(will you save me)
I've made so many mistakes
I've broken so many promises
I've searched inside and I'm empty
Will you save me
Will you save me
Even when I fall will you still believe
Even when I'm lost will you still believe
Every time I fall will you save me (save me)
Even when I fall will you save me

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Killswitch Engage are a bit like U2 in that their songs can be interpreted several ways. I am a Christian, so I often take their songs as having Christian meaning. Others with a different background will not see it as much.
However, this song seems to be pretty clear about the saving power of Jesus, in a pretty explicit way. Christians believe that it is through Jesus' perfect life and perfect love we are saved. We are made clean, and the past is erased.
So, lines like these seem unmistakable to me:
"To break the cycle I must turn to you What I lack I gain through your virtue I gain through you"
and
"Shattered by the hate that I carry Take me as I am and make me whole again I am lost without a purpose always consumed by self I freely give this calloused heart can you forgive me"
I find these lyrics beautiful and powerful and hope-giving. But however you interpret them, I hope they make you think and bring you something positive. Cheers.
